Answer 2

They were known as Rice Rivers.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Savannah, Ogeechee, Altamaha and Satilla rivers were known as rice rivers because they are located in Georgia and rice was the first productive crop in Georgia.

Georgia spans three natural regions: the northwest of the state is occupied by the Appalachian mountain system, culminating at an altitude of 1,458 m. The eastern and southern part of the state is occupied by the Atlantic coastal plain. The flat, swampy coast is cut by deep estuaries. The main rivers are the Savannah, the Altamaha, the Satilla and the Ogeechee, the Rice Rivers, as they were known.
